Hi Jim, Sorry, here in the old world Kindles are neither popular and hardly used in academic life! You do not get the point! regards Keith. Am 20.04.2011 um 21:13 schrieb James Adcock:
You can not be serious. Academic work is suppose to serious! In others words one should cite the original! Also, the cite should be as exact as possible.
It seems silly to require a cite to a physical book, when if say another student or "scholar" were to go to the campus library to find such a physical book and look up the cite then what would they find?
They would find that the campus library has become a vast sucking hole with all the old physical copies of the books having been removed.
If students are in fact reading say Kindles nowadays to get their information -- and they are -- then the profs should accept the cites from the material actually read, namely the Kindle version.
What next, you suggest that only hardcover cites are acceptable, not paperbacks?
